Other Info: This one-sheet conveys Drew Struzan's conceptual "a boy who may bring balance to the Force, but the long dormant Sith resurface to claim their original glory..." poster design. It contains a dark frame around the red/purplish overtones illustration with sunspots and glare streams spilling into it. The main image is made up of a collage of characters including, Anakin Skywalker, Qui-Gon Jinn, Padmé Amidala, C-3PO and R2-D2, Obi-wan Kenobi, Jar Jar Binks, an N-1 starfighter, and the red/black face of the major antagonist Darth Maul, set behind the cast looking menacing in the background. The poster has the tagline - "Jokaisella Tarulla On Alkunsa" (Every Legend Has Its Beginnings) at the top and the cast and credit information at the bottom. The Star Wars: Episodi I – Pimeä uhka logo is found in the bottom third of the poster, along with the Lucasfilm Ltd., Dolby Digital, Digital DTS Sound, SDDS, THX, and 20th Century Fox emblems. Drew's signature can be found on the left-hand side of the artwork. The majority of the folded versions that are seen for sale, come out of the Finnish magazine "Suosikki". They have the same size dimensions and are nearly identical to the originals, except on the back side of the posters, there are usually movie stars or rock groups featured. (Backstreet Boys).
